The teletype is headed “URGENT 7-19-62 4-11 PM,” from SAC Detroit (92-228) to Director FBI (92-3077), captioned “Anthony Joseph Giacalone, aka., AR.” It reads: “Subject observed yesterday at Hillcrest Country Club, Mt. Clemens, Mich., with two other individuals who were possibly [redacted] and William quote Black Bill unquote Tocco, local hoodlums.” (The teletype is in capitals; it is quoted here in ordinary case.)
The rest of the message lists cars seen in the club’s lot, with Michigan, Ohio and Florida license numbers redacted, notes an earlier visit on July 11 when the subject played golf at Hillcrest, and says Cleveland and Miami were advised. A file stamp reads July 24, 1962.
“Local hoodlums” is the Bureau’s wording. The teletype records a sighting; it does not describe a meeting or its purpose.
